In IT Reckoner (Taxmann), it is given that Sec 40 A(3) is also applicable in case of purchase of depreciable Fixed Assets. is it true? If yes, will the asset not be added to the block of asset ? or else what shall be the treatment ?

Sec. 40A(3) is not applicable to depreciable fixed assets. IT Reckoner can not override the act. You might have observed that in N.V.Mehta's reckoner it was written to enclose the annexures with the return form and on that basis CIT at Mumbai has issued the instructions but later on the board has clarified the issue not to enclose the annexures.
